Student Presentations Evening 2015

Following the
huge success of the inaugural Student Presentations Evening in 2014, the South
West Region of The Hydrographic Society UK is now opening this annual event to a
national audience including key marine industry employers. This event is a
fantastic opportunity for those companies looking to recruit undergraduate and
post-graduate students currently nearing the end of their studies to witness
presentation skills, technical proficiency, confidence and professional
capability. It also showcases the projects and dissertation studies the
students are undertaking and provides an ideal forum to offer advice or even practical
assistance.

The
programme will consist of a series of short presentations across a range of
topics associated with the hydrographic, environmental and ocean science professions.
Provisional presentations titles include:

Is it
beneficial to use backscatter and water column data when processing multi-beam
bathymetry by Ellis Hughes

A survey
to assess the viability of the current UK-Santander ferry route in respect to
the new Brittany (LNG powered) ferry expected in 2017 by James
